Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

"Would you like to consume one Entangled Bond to upgrade the talent 'Bone Whistle' to level 15?"

The system has the function of upgrading talents.

Previously, Fang Xun had helped Taro Maru level up his 'Shaking Blade' talent to the maximum level.

Faced with the system's choice, Fang Xun chose yes without hesitation.

To be a good teacher of Yura, the bone whistle is an essential element.

With the deduction of one Entangled Bond, Fang Xun felt as if the methods and techniques for using the Bone Whistle had appeared out of nowhere in his mind.

If Fang Xun wanted to, he could create the sound of a huge crowd in the quiet of the night.

This is also the core of the bone whistle; its timbre is varied, giving it a bit of a beatboxing feel.

After that, Fang Xun opened the lottery card pool.

Although one Entangled Bond has been removed, there are still two Entangled Bonds left, one from Amber and the other from Cloudy.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun added two Entangled Bonds to the card pool.

The first draw showed blue sky and white clouds, but when the light faded, a can of tea was revealed.

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a can of premium black tea."

"This black tea has a bright color and a rich aroma, and it has the effect of refreshing the mind and relieving fatigue."

Looking at the black tea in his backpack, Fang Xun immediately thought of Lisa, one of the three legendary car enthusiasts.

Because Lisa works as a librarian in Mondstadt, she often gets sleepy from boredom and needs to drink tea every day to stay awake.

Fang Xun thought that Lisa might like this can of black tea.

Regaining his composure, he conducted a second lottery draw.

The lucky draw was once again auspicious, and the prize was a 'grilled pork chops' recipe.

Fang Xun was able to master the cooking methods of various dishes not because he deliberately learned them, but because he drew them from the card pool.

Grilled pork chops are Amber's favorite food, so I'll make some for everyone when we go to Windrise tomorrow afternoon.

Exiting the gacha interface, Fang Xun turned on his desk lamp, preparing to write the Inazuma arc.

Fang Xun didn't really want to write, but unfortunately Yae no Miko was also at the inn.

Every day when they meet, Yae no Kamiko's first words are "Good morning," and her second words are "How is Mr. Fang Xun's manuscript coming along?"

If Fang Xun directly stated that he hadn't written a manuscript, Yae no Miko would leave nonchalantly with a smile.

Before long, the little ones would run over to Fang Xun to complain, crying and saying that their auntie was bullying them.

Or perhaps Yae no Miko walked up to Gan Yu and casually started talking about the Raiden Sisters.

They seem to be up to something, both openly and secretly.

Fang Xun was having a terrible headache, so whenever the Eightfold Divine Child asked about the manuscript, he could only reply that he had already started writing it.

However, one day Yae no Miko suddenly felt like reading the manuscript, so he still had to start writing.

Fang Xun was somewhat frustrated. He thought to himself that one day, he would make that lewd fox, Yae no Miko, cry and admit he was wrong.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Fang Xun glanced out the window subconsciously.

It's already past midnight, who could be knocking on the door at this hour?

He opened the door and saw Gan Yu looking nervous and uneasy.

"Gan Yu, what's wrong?"

Gan Yu clutched the hem of her clothes and stammered, "I... I couldn't sleep, and I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."

Fang Xun realized that the strange sound from the bone whistle earlier had made Gan Yu worried.

Although Fang Xun had explained everything clearly, Gan Yu was still worried.

At this moment, Gan Yu noticed the desk lamp and manuscript. She looked up at Fang Xun and asked, "Aren't you going to rest?"

Faced with Gan Yu's question, Fang Xun did not want to lie and answered truthfully, "I'll write a little bit and then go to sleep."

"I...I want to stay with you, is that okay?"

Although Gan Yu didn't understand light novels, she wanted to stay by Fang Xun's side.

It's like a guy going to an internet cafe to play games, and even though the girl doesn't understand, she'll still patiently sit next to him.

Boys will concentrate intently on the computer screen, while girls will concentrate intently on the boy's profile.

She would be happy when the boys cheered, and would quietly offer them snacks when she sensed they were feeling down.

Ultimately, the girl didn't understand games at all; her world consisted only of boys, nothing more.

Seeing Gan Yu so nervous and flustered, Fang Xun paused for a moment, then nodded gently: "Okay."

Fang Xun suddenly lost interest in writing. After all, what respectable person would write a novel, especially at a time like this?

Just then, a weak voice came from outside the door: "Fang Xun, don't be afraid... Qi Qi is here..."

Xiao Qiqi also came, and she was worried about Fang Xun.

Fang Xun suddenly realized that too much concern is sometimes not a good thing.

The result was that Fang Xun sat at his desk, writing his manuscript with a somewhat depressed expression.

Qiqi sat on Ganyu's lap listening to the story, but Ganyu fell asleep as she was telling it.

Seeing this, Fang Xun shook his head helplessly: "How can there be such a silly person? He fell asleep while telling a story."

He made a shushing gesture with his hand to keep Qiqi quiet.

Then he took off his coat and put it on Gan Yu.

After doing all this, Fang Xun sat back down at his desk.

"I've got an inspiration tonight. I have to finish writing the story in one go so that I can surprise the God of the Divine Child tomorrow."

...

The next morning, Yae no Miko received Fang Xun's manuscript.

"Mr. Fang Xun, have you encountered any creative blocks recently?"

Why do you say that?

"Look at it yourself, the word 'short' is evident throughout! I only turned one page and it was over?"

Upon hearing Yae no Miko's teasing, Fang Xun replied without batting an eye, "As everyone knows, the limit for humans is two thousand words."

Chapter 318 Like Mother, Like Daughter

Fang Xun left early this morning because he was going to the Mondstadt Library to look up books about treasure maps.

He had originally intended to ask Amber, the junior guide, to come along.

However, little Amber had disappeared early in the morning, and even Uncle Amber didn't know where the little guy was.

Fang Xun guessed that Amber had gone out early in the morning to prepare because she was going to Fengqidi in the afternoon.

At this point, Uncle An, who had sobered up after drinking, took the initiative to extend an invitation.

"Fang Xun, you're going to the Mondstadt Library, right?"

"I happen to be going to the Knights Order to see the Grand Master anyway, why don't we go together?"

The library and the commander's office are both located on the first floor of the Knights' main hall, so the two of them happened to be going the same way.

"Okay." Fang Xun nodded in agreement.

With Uncle An, a scout knight, leading the way, the journey should be smooth sailing.

And this is also true,

The two knights standing at the entrance to the Knights Order asked Fang Xun to fill out relevant information before entering.

If you follow that procedure, you'll waste a lot of time doing all that work.

Fortunately, Uncle Ann said, "This is my friend," and the two knights immediately let him pass.

This shows that Uncle An held a high position in the Knights.

At the very least, these knights had to give him some face.

...

Led by Uncle An, Fang Xun quickly arrived at the first-floor lobby of the Knights Order.

The lobby on the first floor is divided into three parts: the group leader's office, the library, and the detention room.

There were signs of people entering and leaving the commander's office and the library.

On the contrary, the solitary confinement cell in the corner looked deserted, as if it hadn't been used for many years.

Because no one made a mistake, the solitary confinement cell remained closed.

Fang Xun felt somewhat emotional about this.

In another twenty years, the solitary confinement cells won't be so desolate.

Because at that time there was a little girl named Klee who often fried fish and caused trouble, and was locked in solitary confinement to reflect on her actions.

But for now, it's better to keep the confinement room quiet.

At this moment, Uncle An noticed Fang Xun's gaze and took the initiative to introduce, "That's Mondstadt's solitary confinement room. The witch Iris is currently confined inside."

Fang Xun was taken aback: "Iris is in solitary confinement?"

Uncle An nodded: "I think she was locked up because of the bomb incident? I'm not really sure."

"There were frequent crackling sounds coming from the solitary confinement cell, as if Alice had turned it into a laboratory and moved in there..."

Fang Xun remained silent, thinking to himself that like mother, like daughter.

Klee became a frequent visitor to the solitary confinement room, perhaps inheriting Alice's genes?

"Alright, the library is right to your right. I won't go in. Those books look dry and boring."
